In a bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, Dijon mustard, hoisin sauce, ginger, honey, and soy sauce until blended; stir in the green onions. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer over the sauce, then pour the remaining sauce over the chops to cover them completely.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chops are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Baste once or twice during baking.

Pour the liquid from the baking dish into a saucepan. Turn on the oven broiler, and place the chops under the broiler until caramelized and browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk the cornstarch with water in a small bowl, then whisk this mixture into the pan juices. Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the sauce with the chops.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
